Upcoming games against Oregon State and Santa Clara. Jim noted that Oregon State has a strong record and a similar shooting percentage to Gonzaga]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3157</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>collegebasketball,gonzaga,gonzagauniversity,gozags,gu,gubasketball,spokane,zags,zagsmenbasketball</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/5cde1c308c318deb2085d6253f25aae1.jpg"/><itunes:season>5</itunes:season><itunes:episode>9</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Bulldogs need to TCB</title><link>https://www.spokesman.com/sports/team/gonzaga-basketball/</link><description><![CDATA[The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and former Zag/TV Sportscaster Richard Fox talk about all things GU men's basketball...4 games in 8 days, winning three, but losing to UCLA which hurt.<br /><br />Upcoming games with San Diego, they just need to take care of business and get to the Spokane showdown witht WSU which promises to split the city.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/63593421</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2025 20:10:49 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63593421/zags_insiders_podcast_2025.mp3" length="82253306" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d.srt" type="application/x-subrip" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d.txt" type="text/plain" language="en"/><podcast:transcript url="https://transcription.spreaker.com/starship/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d/d6f0e591-0511-41e7-b93b-df76606cdf7d.vtt" type="text/vtt" language="en"/><itunes:author>The Spokesman-Review</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and former Zag/TV Sportscaster Richard Fox talk about all things GU men's basketball...4 games in 8 days, winning three, but losing to UCLA which hurt.

know how to dance!</title><link>https://www.spokesman.com/sports/team/gonzaga-basketball/</link><description><![CDATA[The Spokesman-Review's Jim Meehan and Zag alum/tv commentator Richard Fox report on howGU Bulldogs know how to dance - you can't fake your way into a Sweet Sixteen.  Zags are facing Perdue - both guys picked them to get this far, but the 21 point wins on the way were very impressive.<br /><br /><br />Recap of McNeese State game - McNeese tried to shut down the 3 pointers, which opened up inside game, but the Zags were always a step ahead.  When the McNeese pressure had no impact, they had no plan B to try and take GU down. Fox breaking down the stats confirmed that the Zags did an excellent job executing the scouting plans and were prepared to play on both ends.<br /><br />Kansas game was so high level on both ends throughout the game - because as Meehan tweeted "are you not entertained?"  The Jayhawks were higher ranked with a few pros and all Americans, the Zags pulled away in the 2nd half.  Zags shot 67% and Jayhawks shot 28% in the second half and the Zags were great at keeping the ball out of Dickinson's hands. GU's freshman did great with solid play.<br /><br />Purdue preview - the way GU is playing right now is completely different then the last time they met. However, job one this time around is to try and shut down 7'4"  Zach Edey...a bad night for him is a double double bc he's gonna score, but attention to the rest of the Purdue team needs to be paid.<br /><br />The guys are predicting a win.

Fox breaking down the stats confirmed that the Zags did an excellent job executing the scouting plans and were prepared to play on both ends.<br /><br />Kansas game was so high level on both ends throughout the game - because as Meehan tweeted "are you not entertained?"  The Jayhawks were higher ranked with a few pros and all Americans, the Zags pulled away in the 2nd half.  Zags shot 67% and Jayhawks shot 28% in the second half and the Zags were great at keeping the ball out of Dickinson's hands. GU's freshman did great with solid play.<br /><br />Purdue preview - the way GU is playing right now is completely different then the last time they met.

Zags fell to 25th...while the loss didn't impact their computer metrics, the brackets were updated and there were no Zags to be found. IT makes the "at large" path extremely difficult with no Quad 1 wins.<br /><br />The week that was - domination against LMU which took both Jim and Richard by surprise. When you get rolled as badly as LMU did...in Division I, coaches shouldnt worry about effort, but that was what was lacking in that game.

Opportunities are dwindling to play against teams that count. This team is going through growing pains, but the hope is they are improving and gaining confidence as they move forward heading towards the Kentucky game on the horizon. Last week - the good: SMU literally the last ranking team..Zags beat the Delta devils, but the bad: 3 point struggles continued...and the UConn game...well, the Huskies are elite. They are a different team from last year's Elite 8, but they can beat you on all sides of the court. UConn is just a better team. They proved that.
